What's your favorite "overlooked" game?

[yukichigai]

So I was looking in the thread about HDD Loader when I remembered one of my favorite games, but also one of the hardest to find. It was an old PS1 game called Intelligent Qube, a sort of surreal puzzle game where you were given the task of destroying rolling walls of giant cubes with bombs, with some other complications. Anyone who's played it knows how addictive it is. So that's my favorite.

Oh by the way, there's another I liked but I can't remember the name; it was a 4-player game played in a cube-shaped room, and if you hit certain switches the room would rotate onto a different side. If you were in the wrong spot you'd fall. A lot. The name was something with "Blast" in it I think. "Blast Room"? "Blast Chamber"?

EDIT: Remember to say what system(s) it is for. ^_^

Blast Chamber(?) (PS1)

the last one wasn't as great though.

once monkeyisland went 3d, i became sad as the quality of the game went down

Chrono Cross. An absolutely stunning game by square, yet it didn't get nearly as much hype as FFT and FF7-9 did.

TimeSplitters 2. One of the best multiplayer (and even single player) FPS out there. Not as good as Halo, but the graphics are really nice, and it is an AMAZING game. Plus its only $15. Yet, no one plays it.

Overlooked, not overplayed.

I had the Japanese version of that game. Pretty killer game. The boss that went ppp-ahhh was hilarious.

I never got to any bosses. I just played and shouted and sh!t-talked with friends for hours. Seriously, there hasn't been a better fighting game since.

OMFG! Those games are AWESOME! I've played Star Ocean 4 times through! That game is so great!

Skies of Arcadia I actually played through on the DC, and I recently bought it for my GC. Awesome game. The ship battles are so fun

It had good media coverage and marketing but it didn't fare that well. Technically overlooked I suppose.
